Well as long as i liked the available feat trees i don'tthink I'd like them any less than the class subclass system in 5e, because they sound like they're effectively just the class subclass system in practice. If my precious rangers get a fair shakeI'd still lean towards making the switch.

That proficiency thing sounds like one heckuva bugbear though, and if I'm reading you correctly non magic combat types get a rotten deal on the turn economy on top of not getting magic which sounds pretty awful too. I'll make sure to take an in depth look before trying to talk the table in to learning a new system.

Thanks for taking the time for the in depth answer.
